LIQUID-FUEL BURNER.

To all whom t may concern.' Y

Be it known t at I, CHARLES HosEK, a citizen of the United States,residing at Floresville, in the county of Wilson and State of Texas,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in LiquidFuel Burners,of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvementsin liquidfuel burners, and the same has particular reference to improvements ofthat type of burner in which kerosene may be practically employed asfuel, and which may bef employed for efficiently heating barns or thelike.

The principal object of the invention is ltol provide a burner of thiskind which maybe utilized where an intense flame is needed,

and which is of such construction as to be cheaply and easilymanufactured as well as readily placed into effective use.

Broadly, the invention resides in the provision of a supply pipeextending down wardly and then formed in upwardly'progressirg coilsterminating in an upstanding end having anV inverted bersecured'thereonso that the outlet end of the latter pipe member projectsdownwardly toward the -coils about centrally of the space inclosed bythe latter, whereby when the fuel f eration as well as the advantages ofthe present invention will is ignited at the outlet endof saidv U-shapedmember, the flame is f directed toward the coils so as to heat thelatter and'vaporize the fuelin its passage through lthe coils to theburner tip. t f

Referring to the drawing, the figure is one showing the supply pipepartly broken away with the coils in side elevation and with theU-shaped member and burner tip in longitudinal section.

Referring more in detail to the drawing, the invention contemplates theVprovisionf of a liquid fuel burner including a supply pipe 5 which mayextend from any desired point where the `storage tank for the fuel iskU-shaped pipe memf y Specification of Letters Patent.

inverted U-shaped pipe member 1l has one end threadedonto the threadedportion 9 of the pipe end 8 so'that the lower end of said U-shaped pipeabuts the flange 10 when the intermediate portion of the U-sliaped pipeextends radially inwardly of the coils with the free end of the U-shapedpipe ll directed downwardly toward the coils at about the center of thespace boundedfby said coils. The free end of the U-shaped lpipe 1lterminates aslight distance above the uppermost coil and it isinternally threaded for detachable reception of the male nipple l2provided on the tapered burner tip 13. The burner tip 13 and theadjacent end of the pipe 11 and 15 respectively when the burner is 'andthe heat from this flame is utilized to heat the fuel in the coils 7preliminary to the ignition of the fuel at the burner tip. Itis believedthatpthe construction and opbe readily understood from the foregoingdescription 'by those skilled in the art. ,f I

`Minor changes may be made Vwithout departing from the spirit and scopeofthe invention as claimed. Y

What is claimed` as new is: t

A liquid fuelburner of the class described including a ,l fuel supplyvpipe extending downwardly and then laterallycwhere it is formed intoaseries of closely related upwardly progressing helical coils, a supplypipe terminating atthe uppermost coil ad jacent one side ofthe burnerand thenextending upwardly and ,having an 'annular flange adjacent itsupper end, the portion of the pipe above the flange being threaded,

place, and said burner n an inverted substantially U-shaped pipe havingonefend threaded upon said threadv ed end of the supply pipe, the saidpipe being arranged with its central portion extending radially inwardlytoward the center of.

the coils rabove the latter and with its free end directed downwardlytoward the coils wardly for effectively heating saidcoils and andterminating slightly above the latter provided with 'a ange intermediateits ends and provided with an outwardly extending for impinging againstthe said flange of the 10 annular flange and a burner tip secured inU-shaped pipe.

the free end of said inverted U-shaped pipe In testimony whereof I aHiXmy signature. above the uppermost eoil and having ports to direct theflames laterally and downi CHARLES HOSK.
